a special to the Banner Watch
man from Lula says: Mary Hill, a
noted character from Gainesville.
Ca, attempted suicide here this at
ternoon by lying down on the rail
road track in front of a moving en-.
CINE and cars, but as the engine was
not moving very fast her life was
saved by the pilot pushing her of the
track, but she was badly hurt. Mr..
c. {. Hodges, the agent, sent dis
patch for the sheriff of Hail county,
and he came and took her to Gaines
vile. She claims that certain man
in Gainesville, who is sailing in high
life, was the cause o, her ruin and
then cast her off, and sic lay down
on the railroad track TO kill herself
and get out of her troubles. She al
so claims to have Il brother in Ath
ems. She was indeed a pitiful sight
to behold, for every breath was a
| rayer to Col to let her die and get
cut VI hes misery.

\ gentlemen was in Athens Fri
day who brings us some long expect
ed news from Birmingham, Ala. He
says that one day this week $780,
600 worth of paper there went to
protest, and real estate is feverish
and excited and in no demand. lie
says the people are greatly excited,
for they realize the fact that the pre-

and it will ruin thousands. This is
the first serious financial disaster
that has come upon Birmingham. and
it will doubtless be quickly followed
by others that will prick the bubble
OF fictitious values, and bring proper

that the ore found around Birming-
